In terms of speed, LTE technology varies from one network to another. Some networks cap speeds at 75 Mbps, because they simply don’t have the capacity to offer anything faster.When Videotron designed its LTE network, it made sure to provide the highest speeds on the market at the time—150 Mbps for downloads and 50 Mbps for uploads. Note that these speeds are based on a theoretical limit and that average speeds for mobile devices usually vary between 20% and 60% of the maximum speed. To enjoy the fastest possible data transfer rates, you need a category 4 smartphone that’s compatible with our frequency spectrum, as well as an LTE SIM card. Your device may be compatible, but may have a 4G SIM card. View the list of devices. View the list of devices.
